bye
byeI knew that hearing my mom's voice at this time of the night was not going to be a good thing. Especially not when I just spoke to her yesterday. Especially when her voice sounded sleepy, like she just woke up. In fact, she had been crying.My uncle (my mom's brother) just passed away at the age of nearly 70 I think. His heart just stopped. He was hospitalized for a week (in KL) but his sons didn't think it was serious enough to tell the other family members about it. They were supposed to visit my home in May but as usual, because my mom and aunt were too busy to accomodate them, they pushed it to December. Incidentally he was my favourite uncle. We didn't get to see him one last time before he left. The last time I saw him was last year in December. We should have seen it coming though. He smoked and drank his whole life. He contracted TB and all sorts of illnesses prior to his death. Just when we thought he was on the road to recovery, he left us. He left his wife, 4 sons (who are all married and have their own families) and 5 grandchildren behind. bye "gee gu" (hokkien for 2nd uncle). I will never forget how you used to stand up for me when my mom scolded me. I will never forget how you would ride your bicycle out to the roadside stalls just to buy me breakfast. I remember laughing at you when you tried to speak broken English to me, thinking that I couldn't understand hokkien. I will miss your chitter-chattering in hokkien, with me straining to understand every word. bye, I will miss you.
